PUEBLO, COLO. -- Pueblo officials have made two arrests and more could be on the way as the result of a fraud investigation.

Pueblo authorities began their investigation back in December after a victim said personal checks had been stolen out of a mail box.

Surveillance videos from stores in the area identified two suspects who had been using the checks.

Pueblo authorities obtained a warrant and searched a home in the 1700 block of Morrison Avenue in Pueblo were they found items purchased with fictitious checks, as well as illegally manufactured identification cards.
